To all whom it may concern:

i Beit known that I, GEORGE W. Hamann, of' i Fort Dodge, in the county `of Webster' and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement i in Milking-Stoolsg and I do hereby 'declare that the following is a full and exact description of the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and 5to .the letters of referencemarked thereon.

. This inventionconsists in the employment Aof a y holder and guard in connection `with a milking-st`ool, `for the purpose of preventing a kicking animal from i overturning the pail and spilling its contents.

`Thedetail of constrnctionwillibe fully described hereinaften` y i In the drawing- @Figure l represents a perspective view of my-in vention; i

Figure 2 is a plan view of the guard; and :Figure 3,a `partial sectional view. i To enable othersskilled in the ait to make and use i; f i my invention, I will now proceed to describe fully -its construction and operation.

A represents amilking-stoolywhich maybe con.- strncted in any'proper manner and of any suitable d material and size. k

. B represents a holder, which is securely attached to the front `end of the stool A, as shown. It may' be-made in any suitable manner, but should correspond insize with the milk-pail.

C represents a guard, which is securelyattached to IMPROVEMENT IN MILKING-STOOLS.

Letters Patent No. 104,452, dated June 21, 1870.

the topvof the h older B, and extends forward and out# ward therefrom, tangentially, as shown.

If desired, this guard may be split at its end for the` purpose of 'permitting the tail ot' the cow to bese-V cured there, and thus save-.the milker from unnecessary annoyance. r

The operation is as follows:

The stool is used in the ordinary manuel'.

The pail is placed in the holder B and securely held therein.

The guard O eectually prevents the animal fromA overturning the pail by kicking, as its leg is necessarily guided away from'the holder. It also seryes to cure Vfractions cows of the habit of kicking itself, as in practice it has been found thatv a few futile attempts to accomplish the purpose are suicient usually to break 'the animal' of the practice altogether. y v

The stool, as a whole, is exceedingly simple, and

can be cheaply made.

.Having thus fullydescribed my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The stool described, consisting of the part A, holder B, and guard 0,'when combined as described, for the purpose set forth.

This specification signed and witnessed this 6th day of April, 1870. y
